Of course, the modules are in the file-system, so you cannot have modules just by doing make ARCH=um
If you want a customised kernel, you have also to customise the file-system you are using by copying your modules into it. To copy stuff to your file system, you can do "mkdir mount_dir" "mount -o loop your_filesystem mount_dir" cp -r your_mod_dir mount_dir/lib/modules If your file-system is equiped to do compilation, and has enough free space, you can also copy your tarred kernel into it and then do "chroot mount_dir" and as you are inside your file system you should be able to configure and make your kernel and then "make modules-install" should install the modules at the right place. If you do not need a customised kernel, you can try the clownix uml network, its file-system is adapted to its kernel. at http://clownix.net, the uml_clownix project.
